I selected 3 sweet pots at the veg stall at the entrance to Peck Rye station yesterday. The stall owner weighed them (approx 3/4 of a kilo) and said ?3.50. I queried this and he re-weighed and said he could go to ?2.50. We had already agreed ?1 for a butternut squash without any quibble and I said I was expecting to pay ?2 for the squash and pots but he wouldn't budge. So I just bought the squash and wondered how out of touch I was with sweet pot prices.


Today, I got 2 sweet pots (half kilo so bit less) for 59p at Lidl.


Neither was organic and I'm just so surprised by the attempted rip off at the stall :(

Lidl's rocks, tho I avert my eyes at their random space. The one where there's a onesie next to a rechargable fly-mo one day, then a fly fishing set next to a yoghurt maker the next


I've never looked at the price of sweet potatoes anywhere, i'm so out of the loop


How much is a pint of milk ?

I love the new Lidl ad on the tv, where they set up a farmer's market stall and don't reveal their brand until the end. All the customers are incredulous at how cheap the wares are. The only thing wrong with it is that they don't show a huge queue at the stall as you get at the tills in the shop.

Lidl potted herbs are ROCK


buy them anywhere else and they are dead before you wake up next morning


by comparison, the Lidl herbs (and I'm not talking any particular type - I've tried various) are still going months later on the kitchen windowsill

Yep agree, AND the herbs are cheaper than in other supermarkets.


Lidl are (mostly) brilliant, and excellent value. There are some things I wouldn't buy there again though - can't remember what, so that's useful :))

    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
